HOPING.

Fay Slimm.

I saw the above picture and the following words sprung to mind.

 

Hoping.

 

A twiggy brown deadness is tapping
my window.


The flowerless wisteria waits hoping
for Spring.


Its under-sized buds, tight but ready
for opening.


When will winter cease moaning, so
their colour might sing ?

        A fine write Fay. yes, some snowdrops appeared really early, it seems. We can keep looking for buds and greenery to appear - signs of Spring.

        • Fay Slimm.

          Ah yes Orchi - - a lovely time is the turn of this month when snowdrops are showing themselves in sheltered places.

              Sorry - Latin - only showing off - following on from Neville's comment - 'little is beautiful' - not sure about sublimas.

                  Subtle. I read this as the human condition. Emotionally we are creatures of seasons we create. Let us hope we don't become too damaged by our winters frosts, and that we remain ever ready to blossom when sunshine once again lights our eyes.

                  • Fay Slimm.

                    I was hoping someone who see another side to this tiny coin D.A. -- our blossom should never become so damaged that our frozen branches shrink in size............. thanks for this lovely comment.

                    Beautiful. The Natural Cycles: the seasons, life/death - if we make it through the Winters, Spring awaits us.
                    Keep on climbing, keep on climbing! - Great poem Fay, had me feeling like singing. - Phil A.

                    Those buds are there ready to issue their majesty as your words do on this page.

                    We have some daffodil buds that I noticed yesterday.
